Cars were stolen in the capital. Kenya has east Africa's largest economy. Its capital city is growing quickly, but so is the city's crime rate. Thieves in the capital steal an average of 10 cars each day.

肯尼亚是东非最大的经济体，首都内罗毕发展很快，但是城市犯罪率增长得也快。平均每天有十辆汽车在首都失窃。

A young inventor. Kelvin Macharia has invented a tracking device that uses computers and wireless technology to help owners know where their cars are, and find them if they are stolen. Mr. Macharia is just 24 years old. He is the CEO of Sunrise Tracking.

凯文·玛卡里亚发明的汽车追踪设备能通过电脑和无线技术帮助车主定位他们的车辆，并在车辆被盗后将车辆找回。年仅 24 岁的玛卡里亚已是朝阳追踪公司（Sunrise Tracking）的总裁了。

The smart anti-theft system. He began working on his invention in 2012 . Using $ 300 from his savings, he improved a system that was already being used to find stolen cars. His smart anti-theft system uses a computer or a mobile phone to tell owners where their cars are. Mr. Macharia says if a car is stolen, the owner can find it using his tracking device. The owner is able to send a command signal to the vehicle through a text message. It immediately stops the car from moving. Experts say this shows the power of security solutions that involve mobile technology.

2012 年他便开始致力于这项发明。他从积蓄中拿出300美元，用以改进一套用于追踪失窃车辆的系统。他的智能防盗系统使用电脑和手机告诉车主其车辆的位置。玛卡里亚说，如果汽车被盗，失主使用他的追踪设备就能找到车辆。车主可以通过短信向汽车发送命令，然后汽车就会立即熄火停车。专家说，这显示了移动技术在安全方案中所起的强大作用。

The new product helps its client. Mr. Macharia used material available in Kenya to make his first tracker device. When he was satisfied with the design, he outsourced the making of the device to a factory in China. 5 He says his company is now worth more than $ 100 , 000 and has more than 100 companies as clients. Tony Wanga is one of those clients. He owns three minibus taxis. Car thieves in the capital have targeted these vehicles. Mr. Wanga bought trackers for each of his vehicles. The trackers cost $ 250 each. He says the trackers tell him where his vehicles are. He says when the tracker is placed in one of his vehicles, he can follow its travels as he sits in his office.

玛卡里亚使用现有的材料在肯尼亚制造出他的第一台追踪设备。他对自己的设计满意之后，就把这种设备的制造外包给一家中国工厂。他表示，现在其公司的市值已超过 100 万美元，同时拥有超过 100 家的公司客户。托尼·王就是其中的一位客户，他拥有三辆小型巴士出租车。在内罗毕，偷车贼常以这些机动车为目标，因此，王先生为每辆车都买了追踪设备，每个跟踪设备花费 250 美元。他说，追踪设备能显示汽车的位置。而且，在安装了追踪设备以后，他坐在办公室里便可掌握汽车的运行路线。

Other security products. Mr. Macharia continues to develop other security products. His other security products include car alarms and a camera hidden inside a pen. And he says he is building a wireless security camera that will be able to store video information for long periods of time. Mr. Macharia hopes his technological innovations give his clients the security and safety they want and need.

玛卡里亚还在继续研发其他的安保产品，包括汽车警报器以及隐藏在钢笔里的摄像头。他介绍说，他正在开发一款能够长时间地储存影像信息的无线安保摄像头。玛卡里亚希望他的技术创新能够为客户带去他们想要的保障和安全。
